You gave me a clue. I am on a dial up 56K, setup as dial on demand. I 
did an experiment.
Started gnomemeeting several times with modem connected, all OK
Reset modem
Started gnomemeeting, modem dialed & connected - can't log on, then 
stuck for 20mins

Theory - isp allocates me a dynamic IP address on startup, seconix gets 
caught up in this & thinks I have changed IP address ?

I'll brush up on bash & put gnomemeeting in a wrapper which starts link 
if not already up.

Thanks for the tip
